Hello,
I'm still looking for an old recipe I used to have that someone gave me out of a Bero book, years and years ago. I'm going back to the 1960's and it was an old recipe then. I've moved house since they gave it to me and lost it.

It used just one ripe banana, had no raisins/currants or anything in. You put the ingredients in a liquidiser, all together and whizzed it up, then it went into a 1lb loaf tin. It was decorated with lemon icing.

I'd love to get the recipe again, just wondered if anyone on here still had it?

TIA

I've been looking for this type of recipe with no luck. Until now:beer:

Just put one banana cake and one coconut banana cake in the oven. So many thanks for asking the question and many thanks charliee for your post. Both cakes only took 10 minutes max to make (in my mixer)

Thanks charliee, that's not the one though, it didn't have vegetable oil in - not sure how that would taste in a cake?

Seem to remember it just had flour, butter, sugar, egg or eggs and the banana. Can't remember anything else in it.

This is an easy recipe for a cake if anyone is interested. Can't remember where I got it from.
Its easy to make and hasn't got any fat in it either. It freezes well.

Hello Dollardog - have you checked out the be-ro website? http://www.be-ro.com/f_insp.htm

click on the bit on the right where it says 'List of All Recipes' and there's a 'Banana Teabread' listed.

Not sure how 'original' these recipes are BUT could be very similar.

Good Luck!

Hi, thanks, yes I did. I even tried emailling them to ask but they only gave me the one printed on the website, but that isn't it. Its probably similar - I hate walnuts, so would leave those out.
The one I am looking for, you put everything in a liquidiser and just zap it, dead easy.

Sounds like my nana's recipe:

2-3 very ripe bananas
1 cup caster or soft brown sugar
2 cups Sr flour
2 eggs

Puree the bananas in a blender (or mash with a fork)
add the sugar and then the eggs mixing well - it will be very runny
then add the flour and mix
pour into the loaf tin and bake gas mark 3 or 4 for 1 hour

I usually make it in the bread maker and I add a wee bit of cinnamon too

confused.. the link i put was just whack it in a liquidiser and bake it?? you could substitute the oil for butter, but oil is fine in cake, it makes it very moist...its popular in america and obviously (from the recipe) australia...
